Mission Carmel was important for a number of reasons:

The Rumsen Tribe there were friendly to the French explorers in 1600's and the Spaniards in the 1700's.

The mission was also important because of the mild weather, and abundant plant and wildlife. The Spaniards thought it was also important because Monterey bay was strategic for shipping and or warfare.

What Indian tribe lived at mission carmel?

The Rumsen Tribe was the majority of the Indians at Carmel.Carmel was built on Rumsen Land! Although some Esselen were at Carmel by the late 1790s they were near extinct. In fact the last Esselen speaker was a Rumsen Indian that spoke Rumsen, Esselen and Spanish. Carmel Mission was built on Rumsen Indian Land and was near their village of Tucutnut.The Spaniards called all Indians that lived on the coast Costanoans. The name Ohlone comes from a small tribal village named "Ohlon" near where Standford University is located today.Many tribes did not want to be called Costanoans so they used OHLONE as part of their name; especially after Ohlone College was built.In truth Costanoan and Ohlone are names made up to show a unity or similarity of Bay Area Tribes.
